Looking at my older animations, it's because I suck at fighting.
But fighting is cool and fun to make, so I'm going to make another fighting animation.. With a twist...

Don't be a pussy. Make a game out of it!
Learn the basics of ActionScript first and how the data structures (Lists, Arrays, Buttons, Graphics...) are used. Just do tutorial after tutorial from the internal help (press F1).
Here's some OOP pseudocode for an extremely simple fighting game 'key triggers action' mechanism for you:
Wrap your head around it, figure out how to draw the current frame of the fighter in a scene, translate it to ActionScript.
Collision detection:
Every Fighter has an invisible box around his center that contains him.
Everything that can collide with fighters collides when its location vector is inside the box. Fists, heads and feet can collide with collision boxes.
KI:
Random action every X frames or no action. Turn the enemy around when you pass him (his up vector collides with your collision box).
You'll figure the rest out by yourself.
Press F1 once in a while and read the ActionScript tutorials and reference material. Helps.
Now get to work!

foreach( key in Keys ) do{
if( key.isPressed() and Actions.keys().contains( key ) )
action = Actions.getActionByKey( key )
}
Scene.applyFrameForFighter( fighter, action.currentFrame() )

That almost sort of made sense. Which is weird as my brain normally locks down when I try to read code or anyone explaining code.
Maybe after the animation. Animations are easier and have more opportunity for random crap to happen.
WHO ELSE WANTS ME TO PUT IN AN AWESOME IN A CAN LEVEL!? I SURE AS HELL KNOW I DO!

I don't know who Del is, but this is how I want my animations to be.
WHY CAN'T I BE THAT GOOD!?

It takes practise. I'm pretty sure you can, though..invertin wrote: WHY CAN'T I BE THAT GOOD!?

INVERTIN UPDATED STIK? WHAT IS THIS INSANITY!?
Yeah, remember my old Anime attempt? Well, I was thinking about ninjas and watched a Naruto AMV (I wanted the music, and the video seemed interesting) so I wanted to make another Anime-ish Pivot.
HARE YOU GAOW
Also, I used the Limb stiks again. Cause they're so much easier to use than stickmen.
Also, the blue line is water. Everyone knows that ninjas can walk on water.
Invertin's thoughts (I want to type stuff about it damnit!):
That cape/scarf was kinda cool, and fun to animate for the first part of it.. But by the fight it got really annoying X(. I never just scrap a stik if it's in an animation I want to finish, so the Scarf stik will probably be used in future...
Oh and certain effects could use some work in this one...
Still, I love that part at the beginning when he kicks the guy in the face.
